Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.

In the dune buggy heyday of the 1960's and '70's, you needed an old Beetle to shorten the chassis for the buggy body. Here, there may have been an old Buggy which had the shortened chassis for the Beetle body.
I remember seeing a Beetle like this, though with a slightly "smoother" door/roofline treatment for sale at a gas station along Route 22 in Brewster, New York in the early '90's. It was a medium blue color. |
How funny, I grew up in Yorktown Heights NY, about 20 minutes south of Brewster. I worked with a guy back in the late 80s, early 90s that drove a blue shortened beetle. Had to be his.

If that backwards front end geometry doesn't get him, the gas tank/rear bumper will!

The internet experts tell me the "racing" fan shroud is going to kill the engine long before he has to worry about how it handles.

I was wondering the same. Was the builder going for a theme from some kid's movie or something?

The builder requested his plate to be blurred out to avoid any retaliation.

I know the top and bottom are Burley's build. Not sure about the middle one.
